Rodriguez went to school with Tadros and they attended Bartram Trial High School.

"He kept to himself all through school. Rode the bus like rest of us," Rodriguez remembered.

Rodriguez was in the class of 2003. He wasn't sure exactly when Tadros graduated.

In 2002, when Tadros was 18, court records show his mother filed for guardianship. The public records state Tadros has several conditions, including Asperger Syndrome in the Autism spectrum. The documents go onto say Tadros will need his mother's care for the "remainder of his lifetime" and that he is "excited in large crowds."

Rodriguez said, "There was always a bit of question about the son. It didn't seem he communicated and/or got along with people very well. Not in a bad way, but in a sociable way. He looked to be in his own little world most of the time."

According to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, it has no record of any prior criminal run-ins with Tadros. In 11 years of online record keeping, St. Johns County deputies have only responded to two calls to his home in St. Johns. One call was for vandalism to a mailbox and another was for a car burglary.

"Very, very nice people," Rodriguez said of Tadros' parents.

Neighbors say Tadros was often with his father at home. First Coast News called the house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

The news of Tadros' arrest for allegedly beating a 9 year old girl at Best Buy has rattled his neighborhood, a place that one neighbor called "kid central" because of all the children who live here.
